Entegrus Powerlines Inc. and St. Thomas Energy Inc. are holding information sessions in regards to the merger of the two organizations in the communities of Chatham, Strathroy and St. Thomas during the month of March.
Sessions will run from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., and members from both organizations will be on site to answer questions.
“Our companies have similar values and operating philosophies,” stated Rob Kent, COO of St. Thomas Energy. “We welcome the public to come out and learn about both companies and see that once the merger occurs, there will be no changes to their service. If anything, they will experience a more robust utility.”
Although both companies are currently in the due diligence phase and continue to finalize merger agreements with a projected merger date of January 1st, 2018, both parties expressed the need to provide the communities affected an opportunity to learn more about the merger.
“Local is a key aspect of this merger,” stated Jim Hogan, President and CEO of Entegrus Inc. “As a merged utility, we will have a larger voice in the industry and reap the benefits of a larger utility, with the benefit of continuing to be locally owned and operated – ensuring local community interests are met.”
